Happybobjr: Thanks! After implementing it, it's about 500 bytes smaller! I'll have to remember that Else!If trick for later.

z80man: It's not grayscale, but I'm planning on doing grayscale on another project, so thanks for the tip!

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the extra space! I could either add content or improve upon some preexisting aspect. Or I could even just keep it the way it is and have a smaller game for doing so. Hmm...

Do you mean extra space as in free memory? I guess it would be fine if the game remains at its current size, although if it's a Flash APP on its final release it's best to use all the 16384 bytes available. Some people prefer smaller games but large ones aren't necessarily bad (since they generally have more features)

I think it's fine to leave it as is.  It looks like a great game! ;D

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty close to being done, but I'm trying to get some music in there just because. Once I get that figured out, I guess I can finally call it quits on this one.

Hm, but how would I go about getting the .8xvs onto my 84+? There's no GraphLink for 84s I can find anywhere and TI Connect won't accept them. Is there something I'm missing?

You could use CalcSys to change the file types if you needed to. :)

Strange, normally TI-Connect should accept 8xv files. Maybe they're corrupted?

The problem is that MiditoAxe doesn't properly calculate the checksum. Opening them in Wabbit, then exporting them will fix this.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Oh ok. X.x Maybe Quigibo could fix this eventually?

Bah, well I can't find a 3.5 to 2.5mm adapter for my headphones. :P I guess I'll have to wait until I can get one. The exporting with Wabbit seemed to do the trick though, and I could send the files, so I guess it works. In the meantime I guess I can do some work on the actual song.

Happybobjr: Any optimization is good optimization! And it should provide me insight on how to make my files smaller in the future, so it's really helpful.

Any reason that with your L= checks, you have L=0 through L=16.  and L=18 through L=(big nnumber).

What about L=17?

That's the empty level, and all the values are already set as 0 at the start of the LV label, so I didn't need anything for it. Also, I had 3 and 16 or something mixed around in there, but I eventually fixed it in the code.

lol I just fixed that.  I did some other optimizations too.  But not as big as the first one.
There is quite a decrease in the source code size too :P
